Default Will NT01's hook?

Since the r888's are a 3 month wait right now i'm looking at Nittos NT01's because they come in stock sizes 285/35/19 and 245/40/18. Will these tires hook from a 30 or 40 mph roll?

600hp base c6

Thanks

At a 40roll, starting in second on a M6, a 305 35 18 R888 would hook at 760 whpr providing that the pavement and tires were warm.

Yeah I went with 295/30/19's because the shop refused to mount 305's on the stock wheel.

I have use the NTO1 with coil overs and prep suspension and thought they hooked great on the street with a almost 700 rear wheel car on a 30mph roll.

Tops is the Mickey Thompson drag radial R just amazing even from zero nether is to be trusted on wet.

NT01 and R888R's are the same compound so they should hook damn near the same.

Cant say enough about the NT01. ran about 32 psi in the rears and making 774whp on nitrous to the tire and these things hooked in second. Off nitrous I make 555 and have no issues hooking in the dry from 1st and even under damp conditions it hooks in second. fantastic tire and are not noisy like r888. absolutely love them

I have r888rs 460whp. Grips amazingly well, they are loud but grip for straight line and mountain runs is amazing. Worth the money.
